Abingdon Vet Centre

Abingdon Vet Centre describes itself as a long-established, general veterinary practice with on-site diagnostics (digital X‑ray, ultrasound and an in‑house laboratory) and the ability to hospitalise patients. The website highlights specialist surgery options (orthopaedics, soft tissue and dentistry) alongside routine preventative care, and says it provides 24/7 emergency support through a partnership with Elizabeth Street Veterinary Clinic.

From the latest reviews available to us, the clearest decision-relevant signals are around pet travel paperwork and support: multiple reviewers mention detailed help with the AHC process and advice for travelling abroad (including with a budgie). Reviews also include small but concrete examples of practical help (e.g., staff assisting an owner to clean up after a cat had an accident en route) and note that it can be a “very busy clinic” while still being responsive.
